Jane Leeves loves curling up with a good mystery or humor book.
“Anything that combines the two and I’m in heaven,” the “Frasier” star — whose new book “Daphne & Me” is out now — told Page Six.
She added, “I love to read when it’s cold and raining outside. A warm mug of tea, a cozy chair and roaring fire add to the delight.”
The actress’ new book — which is co-written with her daughter Isabella Kathryn Coben — details her time on the iconic sitcom playing Daphne Moon and how the show changed Leeves’ life forever.
See below for Leeves’ must-read book recommendations.
“About A Boy” by Nick Hornby
“Hilarious and full of dark ’90s humor. Men behaving badly completely sums it up.”
“The Thursday Murder Club” series by Richard Osman
“He writes such great and funny characters. It feels like so many people I know back home in Blighty.”

“It’s compelling and abhorrent, but you find you can’t look away.”
“This Is Going To Hurt” by Adam Kay
“The diary of a junior British doctor. In turn, achingly funny and incredibly sad. Definitely not for the squeamish.”
“Emma” by Jane Austen
“We have the same first name. No really, it’s hard to believe it was written over two hundred years ago, the themes still feel relevant.”
“Publish And Perish” by James Hynes
“Three dark satirical stories set in the world of academia. I love a good mystery and these are funny and sinister.”
